Chris Kelly overdose is the suspected cause of the death of the 34-year-old former rap star. According to E TV on May 2, Kelly's mother told officers about drugs that her son was mixing together.
Donna Kelly Pratt, the mother of the former Kris Kross star known as Mac Daddy, told police that Kelly has been fighting substance abuse problems and had returned home several times in the past to try to recover from the dependency. Kelly was found dead in his Atlanta home on Wednesday.
Pratt told police that he had taken a mixture of heroin and cocaine the night before his death and she said he had felt nauseous all morning and then passed out around 3 p.m. The medical examiner reported that he died at 4:30 p.m. Examiner reports
Kelly reached popularity at the young age of 13 when his band Kris Kross broke out with the hit single "Jump." Kelly and his partner in the band, Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith became popular for their high energy beats and the fact that they wore their clothes backwards. After their debut album, the boys reached puberty and never enjoyed the same success.
The Chris Kelly overdose suspected cause of death is another precautionary tale for child stars and the effects that early fame can have on them.
